The wise giant looked at Loki in front of him silently, but did not answer directly.
Loki's meaning is obvious. If Mimir answers "alive", he will crush the bird in his hand to death. If Mimir answers "dead", he will open his hand and put the bird in his hand to death.
Let the birds out.
And the deeper meaning of this is Loki's test of fate. He is testing how powerful fate is.
Is it true that all futures are destiny? Or is it true that some futures are destiny and some futures are not? So whether it is destiny or not, where is the line between this and not...
This wise and cunning god is cautiously trying to peer into the limits of destiny.
Mimir just looked at the God King in front of him, and then said softly.
"Loki, your actions are meaningless. Destiny is not something you can try and speculate on. Everything, including your various temptations and speculations, has been written in my parchment.
"
"However, I also answer your words based on my foresight. Just like in a drama, the actors on the stage can only act according to the script. Even if they know it is false, there is nothing they can do. We are marionettes pulled by silk threads.
, is also a plaything in the palm of fate.”
However, Loki ignored Mimir's words and just stared closely at the wise giant in front of him before continuing.
"Then...please reveal to me how fate determines the future of the things in my hands..."
"Is it life? Or death?"
He looked at the wise giant and pushed his hand forward again, while the upright snake eyes were slowly shrinking, with a hint of ferocity in them.
The gods also age, but the aging of the gods is not due to the aging of the body, but because of the aging of the soul. When the heart is old, the gods will naturally age, but Loki...has always looked like a young man.
.
In his body, there is always an undying passion and desire burning, a yearning for that free and infinitely wonderful world.
Odin may have forgotten, and all the gods may have forgotten, but he has never forgotten. What he longs for is an infinitely wonderful and never boring world, not a world called "The World" designed by fate.
"Cage.
He will never be willing to be a prisoner.
And now is the moment for him to launch his own rebellion against fate.
"Is it life? Is it death?"
Neither answer is important, what is important is what happened after Mimir answered.
Looking at Loki's blazing ferocious pupils, the wise giant shook his head.
"Not raw."
"Not raw?"
Loki looked at the wise giant in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised, and his expression became even more ferocious.
"But it's not death either."
"Not death either?"
Loki's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he didn't understand what the wise giant meant, but the dangerous smell on his body became stronger and stronger.
Ignoring the God King in front of him who was ready to move and whose whole body was full of violent aura, the wise giant shook his head again.
"Loki, you understand very well that this little temptation of yours is meaningless. You are placing your hope in the power of the runes in an attempt to blind my senses and make me mistakenly think that there is really a baby in your hands.
Bird, and then test whether I can really know everything, but this trick has no meaning."
He raised his head, looked at Loki in front of him, and continued.
"If I can't see the possible future of everything, then it proves that what I said is not fate, and it can naturally be broken; but... Loki, even the nearly omnipotent runes cannot compete with fate.
The power, so..."
"In your hands, there is actually nothing."
Following his words, in front of him, Loki's eyes were full of complexity, and the violent aura on his body gradually dissipated. He lowered his hand, and was replaced by a silent god king.
In front of Mimir, Loki lowered his head, as if he had been told by the wise giant, and reluctantly chose to surrender in the face of fate, while Mimir just sighed.
And just then...
"hehe……"
Loki lowered his head, first covering his forehead with his left hand, and then suddenly chuckled. His chuckle was full of joy and relief, and his laughter became louder and louder.
“Ho ho ho ho…hahahahahaha!!!!!”
The laughter gradually increased, and then finally Loki raised his head with laughter, and his body even started to tremble crazily. But at the end of the laugh, it turned into an almost inhuman owl laughter, a sickly sound that seemed like crying and laughing at the same time.
There was a deep ferocity in the wild laughter.
Looking at Loki in front of him, Mimir suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Old guy, you really do still have some things you don't know..."
At this moment, Loki's ferocious voice reached his ears.
Putting down his right hand, Loki had an almost cold smile on his face. There was no dejection of failure on his face, but instead it was filled with an air of arrogance and wantonness. As he spoke, he put his right hand
Stretch out and spread out towards the old giant...
Mimir looked at what was in Loki's palm, and an expression of astonishment and disbelief gradually appeared on his silent face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
"how come……"
The old giant who knew everything was almost speechless.
In the palm of Loki's hand, there was a bright red human heart that was beating quietly.
The bright red flesh and blood seemed to have just been separated from it, and it even continued to beat with the help of some kind of power without losing its vitality, as if the heart was still alive.
"Old guy, you can see through all the futures and variables, and see through all the runes. No spells or things can blind your eyes. All the futures are open in front of you. You think you control it.
Everything in this world is hidden in the darkness and dominates everything calmly. However, there are still some things in this universe that you cannot see clearly."
At the same time, Loki's cold and ferocious voice reached the old giant's ears.
The old giant came back to his senses from the brief moment of astonishment. After listening to Loki's words, the first thing that came to his mind was the deep desolation. He drank a cup of wisdom spring water every day, and he was already able to understand everything.
Things and knowledge, whether in this universe or in other universes, nothing can escape his eyes. How could there be things that even he doesn't know about...
Wait, could it be...
"That's right! It's the fountain of wisdom next to you!"
As if he had read the old giant's thoughts, Loki raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a ferocious and crazy smile, and his fingers twisted and trembled.
"Destiny? Unchangeable fate? Ragnarok???"
"In fact, it's just a grand sacrificial ceremony. The entire universe, countless gods and giants, all lives and souls, use this epic and tragic decisive battle, in the name of fate, to sacrifice to someone you don't even dare to It’s just a huge sacrificial ceremony offered by a majestic being that reminds me of, let alone dares to mention!!!”
Mimir stood up with a pale face and couldn't help but take a few steps back. His old body almost fell, but compared to his almost falling, he cared more about what Loki said.
"How do you know...how much do you really know?"
"How do I know? You only know that I drank from the spring of Wisdom Spring, but you don't know that I even directly entered the deepest part of the Fountain of Wisdom... and saw those eyes..."
Loki's pupils slowly dilated, feeling an inexplicable sense of terror and ferocity.
"Those countless, thousands of my brothers, Odin's one-eyed phantoms!"
"Even if you can join forces with Ymir to erase all traces in the entire universe, bury all the corpses and undead souls into the earth, and then reverse time together, jump back to the oldest past, and repeat this again and again reincarnation, but this fountain of wisdom that is independent of time and space still records all the things that exist in the fountain of wisdom, including the one eye that my brother has sacrificed time and time again..."
"Mimir, my brother Odin drank the water from the Fountain of Wisdom, sacrificed his eyes to the Fountain of Wisdom, and obtained all the destiny of knowing the past, future, and present; and you, can see all possibilities; But I, Loki, saw in the deepest part of the fountain of wisdom forbidden knowledge that could not be understood by any gods or humans. Only I, the smartest god, could understand some of the forbidden knowledge."
His fingers trembled and twisted, then he raised his hand, and then under Mimir's stunned gaze, he inserted his fingers directly into his head, deeply inserted into the thing that humans call the brain, which is regarded as everything. Among the organs that are the source of wisdom, among the severe pain and blurred consciousness that stirs in the brain with his fingers, Loki is smiling crazily.
"Human beings divide numbers from 1 to 9, thinking that all numbers are included in it. However, there is another extremely strange thing, that is, all the numbers in the world, the numbers that should exist equally, have never existed equally! "
"Among all the numbers in the world, the probability of 1 appearing is 30.1%, the probability of 2 appearing is 17.6%, the probability of 3 appearing is 12.5%... Until the last 9, the probability of appearing is only 4.6%, how shocking! House number , names, physical constants, chemical constants, population, statistics, stocks, river length, newspaper sales... Summarize all the numbers in the world. Among these numbers that are considered to be randomly distributed, the probability of 1 appearing is actually How many thirds do you want to occupy!"
"Why??? Because there are far more numbers than that! There are 45 numbers in total! 15 of them are hidden in 1, hidden by some kind of power!!!"
"The whole world! Everything is fake!!!"
Amidst Loki's ferocious and crazy angry voice, his vision was blurred due to the severe pain in his brain, and all the images in front of him seemed to have turned into another crazy and weird world...
Underfoot, there are countless dark red flesh and squirming purple blood vessels. All the sounds in the ears become distorted and weird disgusting sounds, and what seems to be a fountain of wisdom is covered by a cavity-like thing that exudes a foul smell.
Instead, the bottomless flesh-and-blood cavity was filled with a disgusting viscous liquid similar to mollusk secretions, and the flesh-like thing even squirmed from time to time as if it were alive.
